The defendant failed to prove the 1st plaintiff was ordinarily resident outside Hong Kong, and the 2nd defendant's counterclaim constitutes an independent attacking claim such that it would be unjust to order security against the 2nd plaintiff; consequently the summons for security for costs is dismissed as against both plaintiffs and costs are ordered nisi in favour of the 2nd plaintiff against the 2nd defendant.
